Thread: 13 Year Olds Work and Equipment

I have been reading Exmarkboy13's thread and I decided to start my own. I started back in 2011 when I bought my first mower. Currently we provide complete maintenance to 2 weekly customers and we are looking to expand. I am purchasing an Exmark Viking in December-January when their prices are lowest and I will be purchasing a new string trimmer within the next few months.

The first picture is of my current set up it is kind of embarrassing...

The next one is of one of the lawns I mow, and YES i know the stripes are not straight.

The 3rd one is a before a flower bed I replanted, i can't seem to find the after right now but trust me it turned out GREAT!

The 4th one is one of my edgings

The 5th one is another typical stripe shot

Sorry about the picture quality, I used my Phone

That's about all for now any comments and advice/critiques are VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!

You shouldn't be embarrassed about your equipment. If you can make a lawn look great with homeowner equipment who cares? Your 13 and probably don't have the money to buy a commercial zero turn. Focus on attention to detail. Before you know it you will have enough work to keep you busy through high school. I would keep your setup until your get a drivers license and then invest in a truck and trailer and a walk behind.

hey don't be embarrassed about your equipment, i started with my dad's craftsman push mower. now ive got 2 walk behind exmarks, several push mowers and a 16 foot trailer. we all start small and get bigger.

I started when i was around 13, only a couple lawns like you but we all have to start somewhere, now i'm 16 with around 10 accounts and going way bigger next year, just bought a toro 36" wb this past year also, I started with a craftsman mower as well, best of luck to you!
